00:00I want to talk to you about your new project the horror section yeah I'm so
00:05excited we're basically anyone can sort of invest in a horror film and reap the
00:11rewards if it's a success yes well that's what I always wanted someone
00:15once said to me like if you were a stock I'd invest in you and that idea always
00:19stuck in my head of how can we get the fans fully involved where it's not just
00:22like crowdfunding where they give you money you get a credit but you could
00:26actually buy shares in stock so I've started this new company called the
00:30horror section to make totally insane unhinged unrated theatrical horror films
00:36imagine Hostel being like the safest and like tamest version of the movies I'm
00:41gonna make but what if people could buy into it so I'm offering 10% of the
00:45company to the public and through this platform Republic it's there like a
00:50licensed trading platform you're buying the exact same stock that I have so we
00:53offered five million dollars to people because we have the funding for the
00:56movies but I was like what if you know you're a postman in New Jersey and you
01:00always wanted to invest in horror you put a hundred dollars in then if the
01:04movies win you win so the stock goes up yeah people can either like Kickstarter
01:08it's like Kickstarter but Kickstarter you don't really own the movie yeah it's
01:11literally like investing in a company but instead of doing it movie-to-movie you're
01:14investing in the horror section as a whole and you're finding success with that
01:18people are investing amazing so far we have over like 1300 investors I mean it's
01:21supposed to be like a 90-day campaign we're three weeks in we're already over
01:25halfway there and there's people that want to come in we're gonna close it out
01:28probably by the end of the week there's like wealthy people that are like I'll
01:30take the rest of it so but I want as many fans as possible you know I'd love to I
01:34thought I was hoping for a thousand or 1300 now so mmm you know minimum
01:38investment is a hundred dollars but if you invest a million dollars I will kill you
01:42my camera on film like I will do a bespoke death like not like not like kill you in a
01:47you know a zombie attack like I will give someone like the death of their dreams
01:51what is the death of your dreams man I don't know I think there I have a few
01:59difference I have a few different deaths I thought it was gonna be eaten by a
02:02shark but now I love sharks and I'm friends with sharks so I think slowly
02:07being peeled alive would be a pretty awful one being like waking up in a coffin that
02:13would be like that would be a horrible one but I would want to do something that
02:16really looks good on camera totally so maybe you know something involving like
02:20being played all your skin being peeled off
